Actually I am doing a research on dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-IV) inhibitors and i would like to know more about the enzyme itself. Where is it biosynthesized in the human body? What is the pathway of its synthesis? When and how was it discovered? Do you know any useful references (books, journals, websites)?

Yesterday's New York Times ran an editorial about patenting cell lines, written by Michael Crichton. The ideas are also discussed in his new book "Next."
Is it possible for a company or a university to own your cell line, without your written permission and detailed consensual knowledge?

I have been using Dermovate scalp application for my psoriasis for many years by now and this is the only medication that seems to be working on my condition. I only apply it when redness and itchness occur. I have learned lately that using this type of medication which contains steroids may have serious side effects such as the effect on normal production of steroids in the body. What would that exactly mean? What are the symptoms in such cases? Does it have anything to do with methabolism or overweight issues?

You are to reconstitute one gram of celphalexin with 5 cc of normal saline. The doc order is given a one time dose of 350mcg of cephalexin per gravity drip. (Out of electrical pumps). After reconstituting the medication, you draw up 1.8 cc of the reconstituted cephalexin to futher mix with 30cc of normal saline. How many drops per minute will you set the gravity drip (15 drops per cc) to facilitate a safe infusion at 30 minutes?

About ten days ago I had a knee injury (possible torn ACL, MCL or hyperextention). I do not see the orthopedic surgeon until Thursday, and my doctor has been prescribing me 5mg oxycodone (percocet) 2 tablets evert 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. I recently ran out of my prescription so I called in a refill. When I got to the pharmacy to pick up my medication, I noticed a label on the bottle that said something like "This is the same exact drug you have been taking but may be different in shape, color or size".

So, I took 2 right away because it had been almost eight hours since my last dose, and after taking it there seemed to be no effect at all on my pain and did not at all make me feel anything like the original oxycodone I had been taking.

Is it possible that my doctor for whatever reason prescribed me a placebo drug because he believes my pain is not legitimate or as severe as I make it out to be? Is this something that is even a remote possibility?
